One's Own Faction

As for the content of these negotiations, Orochimaru did not care in the slightest.

Mere low-level ninjutsu and some specialized cultivation techniques were, to this mad scientist, an inexhaustible resource.

The most important point was that the intelligence Naruto provided to Orochimaru regarding the Sharingan and Rinnegan was genuine. Of course, Naruto still withheld data involving ancient secrets; Orochimaru had anticipated this, so he was not stingy at all regarding Naruto's requests, adopting an attitude of "I will give you as much as you want."
